I have used this app for 3 years on and off when I need to do a pre order.
This time when trying to use it the pre order function did not display on my store which I understand happens with various themes.
I contacted support who for the first 2 days just kept refreshing the app and asking me to wait. It still didn't fix the problem.
For 4 more days now support keep telling me to wait as the tech team are reviewing the issue. I have not had an update on the issue in days.
The support is poor for this app and I do not write this likely as I have never had a problem with the app before.
I am left with no option but to uninstall this app and use another one available.
Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we apologize for the frustration caused. Our technical team was making significant progress on resolving the issue before the app was uninstalled, and we regret not being able to fully assist you in time. This is not the experience we aim to provide, especially for a long-time user like you. Someone from our team will be reaching out shortly to discuss this further and find a way to make it right. We appreciate your patience and hope to regain your trust.

The only thing I dislike more than an app that doesn't work, is an app that only works 50% of the time for no particular reason at all. Support staff use copy paste solutions, and it took months of waiting, and still no answer. The app probably gets stuck in its own caching, because once there's a bug, it's there for good. Even when I uninstalled and painfully reinstalled and set up again. Very dissappointing.
We apologize for the frustration you've experienced with our app and understand how disappointing this has been. To ensure this is addressed thoroughly, a member of our leadership team will be reaching out to offer further assistance.
Thank you for sharing your insights with us, we're committed to making this right.

Plugin adds great functionality to the site and turns a typical "SOLD OUT" into an interesting opportunity for customers. The problem comes from when they put out an update. This happens every few months, and when it does, all of my settings vanish. The site starts making all orders look like pre-orders. The Pre-Order banners on my item images disappear. I have to do all of my initial setup all over again. This is beyond frustrating. I can't babysit my website like this and by the time that I catch it when this happens, it's already caused a problem with a customer. Seems like something that could be fixed easily. Would be great if I were notified about an update before it took effect and gave me the option of doing it or not, or at least sent out an email about it, or at the very least, DON'T CHANGE MY SETTINGS.
Hello there,
You are correct, that's frustrating.
However, without further details (e.g., exactly when did it happen? did you change/update your theme? etc) we can't accurately pinpoint the issue.
On top of that, we haven't had any HUGE update to date, only on the 16th of March which was the Pricing plan update.
Please contact support@websiteondemand.ca and we can schedule a call. WE are more than willing to help you, let's fix this together.
Customers are purchasing and preorder does not show up on 35% of orders. Creating a lot of confusion.

Customer service responds fast but takes too long to fix any issue you have. No matter if you are in the middle of Xmas Sale and losing thousands of dollars per day. They will tell you that your problem can´t be fixed now. it will take 24 hours minimum.
Hello friends from Banda Bags,
Sean here - the Ops Manager with Pre Order Now. I am terribly sorry about your experience here. After reviewing your messages to our support team, it seems like this was a simple settings correction within our app's settings for your store that needed tweaking.
I show that our support team emailed you with specific directions on Friday, and our developer circled around with a followup email on Sunday.
Is this now taken care of? Please confirm - I want to make sure you are 100% taken care of. How else can we support you here?
Thanks so much,
Sean & The Pre Order Now Support Team
App is extremely buggy and has caused a number of errors on my site. When I asked the dev for help it sounded like they knew what my issue was but they told me to get help from another app developer that I had trialed another pre-order software from. Kind of a lousy attitude to have since I'm giving the Pre-Order Now developers money, but whatever. Customer service isn't for everyone. As soon as I find a replacement I'm uninstalling this app.
Hello!
This is Sean, the Customer Success Manager with Pre Order Now. Thanks for leaving this review... looks like instead of asking you to contact the other app's support to remove their residual code, we should have offered to comb through and remove it ourselves.
I am very sorry about that. How can we make that up to you? We pride ourselves in giving super-awesome support every time, but I see how this could have been done better, and I'm coaching our team on that now.
Please reply and let me know? I'd like to make 100% sure you are taken care of from here...

It won't send out any pre-order emails and it seems like the settings will just reset causing us to start from the beginning. Need to be proactive and see if it's sending out pre-order emails instead of neglecting it. Just our case, could be different for other stores. Great when it's working.
We've been using this app for two weeks and every single day we keep getting real orders that are supposed to be preorder. We've been working with the support team to try and figure out, and finally they told us they don't support orders paid with certain payment methods. This is something they should have told us before using their app!!!! We've lost thousands of dollars in canceled orders and it's been a customer service nightmare, I'm so upset
Hello to our friends at Toki Mats

Setup is fairly simple.
The issue we have found is that as the app loads last on the store, the add to cart button doesn’t turn to a pre order button until every element on the page loads.
We’ve seen a number of customers checking out without the preorder app registering it as a pre order as they clicked add to cart too quickly.
This kinda makes it pretty useless - we’re now having to chase all the customers who ordered thinking the product was in stock.
Thanks for taking the time to leave such a thorough review. I'm truly sorry about the poor experience you've had with our app. We're taking your feedback very seriously and are working through it with our developers. I'll also be reaching out to you personally - we've let you down, and we want to make this right!
